1885 The Hen Faberge Egg Peter Carl Faberge is the world's most famous jeweler who created eternally original pieces of art. The series of Easter eggs created by Faberge for the Russian Imperial family, from 1885 through to 1916, is regarded as the greatest and most enduring achievement. Following a strict fast throughout all of Great Lent, Easter was a day of celebration of Christ's resurrection. To celebrate this holiday, Tsar Alexander III's brother, the Grand Duke Vladimir ordered Peter Faberge to create an Easter surprise for the Tsarina. Tsar wanted to give his wife something that would take her mind off worries for the Easter of 1885. Faberge created an egg inspired by one the Tsarina knew from her childhood as a Princess of Denmark's royal court.
